Cease vs. Lopez: Jays Look to Douse Sacramento’s Fire at Sutter Health
Dylan Cease (RHP #84) rolls into Sutter Health Park with a 2.25 ERA and a WHIP that makes the A’s staff look like a sieve. Jacob Lopez (LHP #57) will be trying to stitch that hole with a 4.71 ERA and a WHIP that’s more “whoops” than “who’s‑that‑pitcher.” The contrast is as stark as a maple leaf next to a palm tree, and if Lopez can keep the Jays’ 3.92 staff from getting a second‑hand education in run‑giving, he’ll earn at least a nod for effort.
